Last night was the most interesting place we've stayed at by far! Our group was split up between two places. One was a bed and breakfast called Yoder's Guest House, no relation to Todd's mothers family.
The other place was a place called Morguentoole Co., which is where we stayed. It was a big brick building with a restaurant and pub on the second floor.
It was quite confusing to enter because the main entrance was in an alleyway. On our way to our room, one of our riders was exclaiming he had just seen a bat! Those who know me well know I was a bit freaked already!! Our room had a beautiful brick wall, and was stylish.
We went to dinner at the restaurant, and our waiter was informative. I asked him the history, and he replied...."half of the building was a hardware store, and the other half was a furniture store that made caskets!" Interesting. He then added, "there was a morgue on the third floor!" We quickly realized our room was on the third floor!!! Nancy had no idea that the name of the place was a play on words, "morgue n toole." It was a great combination of creepy, cool, and comfy!
Yesterday we headed out first thing in the morning to a place called the GI Day room, which Margaret recommended for breakfast.
It was very good, but the staff were quite overwhelmed with how many we were. I had french toast with "real Pennsylvania maple syrup," not as good as Vermont!
After breakfast we went to the Town Hill B and B, unhitched and headed to Rocky Gap State Park and Casino. We enjoyed some down time and swimming in the shallow lake.
The B and B was quite nice, very fancy, comfortable beds with down comforters and the softest sheets I've ever slept on! Dinner and breakfast was amazing!
Today is a rainy day, and we have no access to Internet again :( I'm updating in "town" near Battlefield Antietam. More later....
